Albright has been wrong before, but this was interesting. I didn’t listen but I wonder if he is implying we are trying to get a trade or just don’t give a poo and telling everyone Bryce is our guy. 

Trying to get Houston to bite and give up some picks and then get AR at #2.

Thats interesting because If the Panthers really do like Stroud then they have no reason not to dangle bait on Bryce to Houston all this time. What do they have to lose by doing it? Richardson just adds to it because he would just be another option only in a trade down. Its just as possible as them being really sold on Bryce instead. Point is, we really dont know nothing till it gets closer to the draft. Its stupid to get hopes up now on a specific thing to happen.

There have been a few GMs that have said they are glad they don't have to make that decision this year. Undoubtedly because they all have some traits you love, but each has some potential weaknesses that may haunt you. 

Bingo - and yet 3/4 of our fanbase is strutting around like trading the farm for #1 overall was a work of genius by Fitterer.

I'm starting to lean more towards AR. While his game may not be there yet and he is young and "raw", his physical gifts and his ceiling are too damn tempting to ignore. He may need to sit a year or partial year and I'm actually ok with that. I know everyone wants to win now, I do too. We have a couple centuries worth of experience in our coaching staff. If this is the Allstar staff we all hope it is, sitting for a season and actually getting adjusted to the NFL game could be very beneficial. We traded up to 1 in a class where the top 3 QBs all have question marks. I want the guy that has the highest ceiling of the group. If we swing and it's a miss, we have our 1st back in 25' to do it again. 

It's a tough call. Safe bet is Young if you want to start the rookie right away. I really do not have the warm and fuzzies for any of them. But we have to take one of them. I just hope they pick the right one.

I don't either. Because of that I'd be shooting for the biggest reward. Any of the 3 could be good or none and it wouldn't surprise me either way.

Naw…they are conditioning the fan base on what to expect.  Young’s the pick

You are probably right, but why not just say it? Also why bring in AR and Stroud for visits? It seems they are fairly confident it’s Young but are still doing some research.

Who knows.  I'm not convinced Person's source knows much.

Because if someone else makes you a ridiculous offer and you're not sold on 1 of the 3 as the best, you can still get a QB and some other pieces and improve the team. Have to at least show some interest in all of them to give yourself the most opportunities if you're not 100%.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they seem really committed to seeing the process through, even if they have leanings or an idea of who the favorite is. It’s smart to me from a logical standpoint but I get how as a fan it could seem annoying with all the reports floating around now.

Gantt has confirmed this...repeatedly.

That's why I shake my head at scenarios that involve the decision already being made.

Yeah that makes sense. I get that it’s probably Young and that’s where they are leaning, but man if it is not a lot of people on here will look silly…

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
